Bloor St. Culture Corridor announces new partner: Talisker Players

TORONTO, Canada (November 10, 2014): The Bloor St. Culture Corridor, Toronto's most diverse arts and culture district, is proud to announce a new partner: Talisker Players.

Talisker Player joins thirteen other partners who together form the Bloor St Culture Corridor.
All fourteen of the Bloor St. Culture Corridor partners are world-class
arts organizations presenting professional arts and cultural events for
the public year-round in destination venues - all located within a
block of Bloor, along almost exactly one mile (1.6 kms), between
Bathurst and Bay Streets.

The Bloor St. Culture Corridor offers a wide
variety of arts genres, from museum experiences to films, art
exhibitions to music concerts, and it offers opportunities to experience
some of Toronto's cultural diversity, including French, Jewish,
Italian, Japanese and Aboriginal arts and culture.

Talisker Players
is a unique ensemble of instrumentalists dedicated to collaborating
with singers. Celebrated for its passionate and stylish accompanying,
the group performs with choirs throughout Ontario, as well as in opera
and theatre. Its members are boundary-crossing players, equally at home
in baroque and modern, classical and pop. The Players' own concert
series, at historic Trinity-St. Paul's Centre, is one of Toronto's most
eclectic and adventurous, combining words and music in evenings that are
as theatrical as they are musical.

This
season, Talisker Player's concert series includes "Putting on the
Ritz," a tribute to songwriter Irving Berlin, on January 11 and 13; "On a
Darkling Plain," an evening of gorgeous music from some of the greatest poets and composers of our time, on March 10 and 11; and "Heroes, Gods & Mortals," an exploration of the many ways in which the ancient Greek tales have been interpreted through the centuries, on May 12 and 13.

Along with the addition of Talisker Players, the Bloor St. Culture Corridor is pleased to announce that the VEMU/Estonian Studies Centre is a Culture Associate of the Bloor St. Culture Corridor. VEMU/Estonian Studies Centre, located at Tartu College, connects Canadian and Estonian communities
through rich and vibrant cultural programming including lectures,
seminars, workshops, exhibitions, film screenings, theatre, concerts,
and more, in Estonian and English.

Bloor St. Culture Corridor: Arts
and culture organizations along Bloor St. West have come together in
partnership to create the Bloor St. Culture Corridor, a uniquely
Torontonian arts and culture district. The Bloor St. Culture Corridor's
14 partnering arts and culture destinations are all located in almost
exactly one mile (1.6 kms), along a vibrant stretch of Bloor Street,
from Bathurst to Bay, connecting three major Toronto neighbourhoods: the
Annex, University of Toronto, and Bloor-Yorkville.

The Bloor St.
Culture Corridor offers a wide variety of arts genres, from museum
experiences to films, art exhibitions to music concerts, and it offers
opportunities to experience some of Toronto's cultural diversity,
including French, Jewish, Italian, Japanese and Aboriginal arts and
culture. Torontonians and visitors to the City can easily take public
transit to get to the Bloor St. Culture Corridor - there are 5 major
subway stations along the Corridor - and walk from a museum to an
afternoon art talk or exhibition, shop, have lunch or dinner, and enjoy
an inspiring concert or film -- all within just a few blocks along
Toronto's most diverse arts and culture corridor.
